Tommi wants you*

*to send her your recipes…

I have been learning so much about chillies from Mexicans, fellow food lovers and general chilli nuts that I thought it would be a fun, if slightly mad-capped idea to publish someone’s best ever Mexican recipe which uses chilli in my cookbook, ‘Mexican Food Made Simple’ , due out next April.

The idea is that anyone out there in cyberspace sends me their favourite Mexican recipe using chilli.  The recipe has to be easy to follow, not too complicated and use ingredients that you can get in the UK (even if that means sending off for a Mexican chilli by mail order).  If the recipe is good enough, the winning recipe goes into my book (as judged by Hodder, my publisher, some mystery chefs and me), whilst if there is a runner-up, they will be published in Wahaca’s “Ola London”, which we hand out to 10,000 people a week at Wahaca and several hundred journalists.

For all the cynics out there, I have now written most of my book which has to be handed in by the beginning of September, so time is of the essence!  If you are keen, send recipes to loswahacos@wahaca.co.uk before 4th September.

I am waiting with baited breath to see recipes!  Let’s start the British Chilli Revolution here!

Happy cooking….

Contributor Competitions – Coming Soon

We love to chat. You might have noticed we Wahacos aren’t those quietly sit in the corner reading types. But what we love more than anything else (well maybe apart from Tommi’s guacamole) is to hear what you guys have to say.

There are loads of opportunities for you to get involved on the blog and to tell us what you’re thinking. We’ve got lots of ideas in the pipeline and are keen to hear any thoughts you might have as well – they’re often much better than ours! If you want to write a post or two on the blog then let us know. We’ll find a way of making it worth-your-while.
